roladuby New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 12:51 pm Hi guys. New to this site but have been a collector for many years. I have found a possible interesting variety on an 1872H dime. On the obverse above the E in DEI there is what appears to be a die break. Under magnification it looks like a partial letter as it is square, with straight lines, like part of an I or T. Most die cracks I have seen are jagged and very non uniform in shape. I cant seem to get a close up macro of it, as it is too small. Has anyone else seen one of these?
